China will hold joint naval drills with Russia in mid-May in the
Mediterranean Sea, the first time the two countries will hold military
exercises together in that part of the world, the Chinese Defence
Ministry said on Thursday.

China and Russia have held naval
drills in Pacific waters since 2012. The May maneuvers come as the
United States ramps up military cooperation with its allies in Asia in
response to China's increasingly assertive pursuit of maritime
territorial claims.
